Enjoy.

Yup, no comparison, for sure. It's looking like a great release! Very stable and fast, as usual.

Eluded to this here.

So I came home from work yesterday, did a few things around the house, and then sat down to the iMac to check my email. Hit the keyboard to wake from sleep... not asleep, no power. Hmm, odd, it's usually up all the time. Hit the power button... nothing. Check all the usual stuff, try again. Nothing. Mind you, I purchased this iMac brand-new, last fall, when the 2006 iMac died.

I had this happen before, right after I bought it, so I took it in (under warranty AND AppleCare), and they couldn't repeat the issue, it booted right up.

tl;dr

Setup the ThinkCentre with Ubuntu 15.04 for the family computer until I get that shit sorted out. Fucking Macs, fucking Apple, fucking consumer electronics. I have hardware at work that has 10+ years of use without a single hardware failure.

Anyway, this is my home for now, ha! Could have done Slackware or whatever, but wanted everyone in the family to be up and running quickly. Ubuntu was the right tool for the job.

Cool choice, I haven't tried the 15.04 yet - any 'big' changes there? Interestingly, Ubuntu always works on my T43 but never on the desktop with nVidia on-board gfx. It just boots into the Unity desktop and then the mouse just hangs every 5 seconds. No matter which driver I use.

No big changes, seems like mostly little tweaks and improvements. Runs pretty solid, fast, and stable. I'll probably need to install spectrwm to retain my sanity, but the wife and kid are happily doing there usual stuff, including my son playing Minecraft.

I'm affected the most: I have a once-yearly freelance typesetting/design job that is already behind schedule, and all of my work and the Adobe apps to do it are on the iMac. Guess I'll just do it at work.

I've had good luck sticking with Intel graphics stuff. I don't need much graphics horsepower for my *nix rigs, although the Athlon 2000XP (Slackware) machine at work has an ancient nvidia card, can't remember which one. Works well with the nouveau driver.

Not sure why but I like your scrot Bones. :) Ubuntu can be really nice.

OK, more my style with spectrwm and some suckless tools (stterm and surf) plus moc:
